artist in residence lower austria

AIR – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Lower Austria is a multidisciplinary fellowship program located in Krems an der Donau. The program gives architects, visual artists, musicians, and writers the opportunity to live and work in Lower Austria for a period of one to three months and to get to know the entire spectrum of local cultural institutions. In turn, A I R organizes residencies for Lower Austrian artists across Europe and overseas in conjunction with internationalexchange partnerships. In addition to realizing exhibitions, concerts, readings, and workshops, partic ular emphasis is placed on the production of work on site. In the broadest sense, the aim is to facilitate and support the entirety of potential a rtistic forms of articulation and presentation, as well as to reflect on and engage discursively with the various ways of working.

In some cases AIR can facilitate the presentation of projects developed in Krems or previously planned artwork. Generally speaking, AIR events are realized in cooperation with a number of art institutions in Lower Austria and Vienna with the aim of establishing a permanent place for AIR projects in the annual programs of these institutions, thus integrating the grant recipients in the Austrian art and artist scene.
